In December of 2006, I was the single parent raising my daughter whom was six years old at the time. I didn’t have much money, and I wanted to buy a Christmas tree. I took my daughter along with me. As we were choosing a Christmas tree within my budget, my daughter wanted a tall tree than that planned one. I told my daughter we can’t afford a taller tree. Someone must have heard of our conversation. When I went to paying for the tree, the clerk said the customer before me had paid for my tree. I shocked. I was very thankful to what the stranger had done for us. That day I promised to me that I would pay it forward.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it. “Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight (暮色). “The one down at the corner,” she explained. “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look. You ought to see it.” I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street when a splash of bright orange caught my eyes. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
I approached the tree to look at it closely. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. It was a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. Like the mess of an artist’s palette(调色板), the tree blazed a bright crimson(深红色)on its lower branches and burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center, and deep red at its top. Through these colors were light green leaves as yet untouched by autumn.
Walking closer I noticed several bare branches near the top, their small black branches scratching the air like claws. The fallen leaves lay like a red carpet around the trunk.
As I was amazed at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s comments about the stars. “If the constellations(星座)appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they’re up there every night, we barely give them a look,” he made a remark in Nature.
I felt the same way about the tree. Because its beauty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.
Once in the 19th century when a man noticed a brilliant display of northern lights(北极光)in the sky over Massachusetts, he rang a church bell to alert the whole town’s people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to awake the countryside to its wonder.
I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but important question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the tree?”.
1.What did the author’s neighbor remind him?
A. To appreciate the beauty of the sunset.
B. To find what happened at the street corner.
C. To draw a picture of a tree.
D. To enjoy the beautiful tree in all colors.
2.From the passage we know _________.
A. the author felt it precious to see the beauty of the tree
B. the author thought of the stars as beautiful as the tree
C. the remarkable scene of the tree only appeared in a thousand years
D. People never had a close look at the tree
3.How did the author call on people to enjoy the wonder?
A. He rang the church bell.
B. He passed on the same question.
C. He awakened all neighbors up.
D. He required people to the corner.
4.The best title of the passage can be ________.
A. Have You Seen the Tree?
B. The Most Beautiful Tree
C. One of the Wonders in Nature
D. The Precious Moment in Life

A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.
Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won’t agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.
1.Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?
A. Because it is easier to understand.
B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.
C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.
D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.
2.The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.
A. young smokers B. smokers in Ireland and Belgium
C. all smokers D. young smokers’ friends
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.
B. Many smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.
C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.
D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.

Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey.

科目:高中英语 来源:2017届河南洛阳一中高三上期第一次月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are six cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.
Family
In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
Friends
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
Money
As is well known,the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the US, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts(对应面).
Education
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.
Team VS Individual
Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits (功绩)are celebrated.
1.Which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference?
A. Privacy.B. Income.C. Age.D. Marriage.
2.Which is true according to the passage?
A. American parents seldom live with their children.
B. There is no friendship between American people drinking together.
C. Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend.
D. Americans value good character and faith in terms of education.
3.Which one is similar to the underlined phrase?
A. is attached to B. brings in
C. is promoted to D. results in
